The one thing in his favor is that he was already a pocket passing QB and it’s his front foot when throwing, so the losses you usually think of when it comes to an achilles injury aren’t as significant. But he is 40 years old, so any significant injury at that age is going to be a possible career ender.
You’re thinking of Rodgers from several years ago. Coming from a Packers fan, he hasn’t done those things in several years. He’s been largely a pocket passer for 4 or 5 years.

I’m not sure he’s going to have much of a choice
Why would you ever keep him at this point? Send him to pasture.
The Jets will be paying for him either way, either via salary or dead cap. So I’d think they would want him playing if he’s able.
